The Chiefs have are through to a third Super Bowl in the space of four years, led superbly by superstar quarterback and league MVP favourite Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes set a new record for the most offensive yds (5,614) in NFL history during the 2022 regular season – breaking down as 5,250 passing yards, 358 rush yards and six receiving – while he then saw his Chiefs past the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs, despite being hampered by an ankle injury.

Kansas City lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy on their first visit to the Super Bowl in 50 years when they beat the San Francisco 49ers to cap the 2018 season, with Mahomes named MVP after engineering a comeback from 20-10 down midway through the fourth quarter, though they missed the chance to go back-to-back when beaten by Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the big game the following year.

The Eagles, meanwhile, held the NFL’s best record for the majority of the season, having served as the league’s last remaining undefeated team until they were taken down by the Washington Commanders in Week 10.

A further five-game winning run followed before back-to-back defeats – to the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints – during an injury absence to their star quarterback Jalen Hurts that threatened to undo all of their hard work prior.

No fear, as Hurts returned to put things right with a season-ending win over the Giants, before they easily overcame the same opposition 38-7 in the divisional round of the playoffs and then ran out similarly convincing winners over the 49ers in the NFC Championship game.

The Eagles won their only Super Bowl title five years ago, running out 41-33 winners over Brady and the New England Patriots in an epic encounter. Though up until their lone triumph in the 2017 season, they had made the Super Bowl only once prior, in 1980 – losing to the Raiders – and otherwise endured 29 postseason-less years from 1960 until the turn of the millennium.

This year’s Super Bowl will be the 57th in the history of the NFL. It is to be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday February 12.

The stadium, home to the Arizona Cardinals, has a capacity of approximately 73,000 and has played host to two Super Bowls previously – both epic encounters.

The New York Giants defeated the Patriots 17-14 in the first of those, to cap the 2007 season, as David Tyree’s famous ‘helmet catch’ helped deny Brady and the Patriots a perfect, undefeated campaign. Then, seven years later, New England were back again and this time ran out 28-24 winners over the Seattle Seahawks after Malcolm Butler’s incredible interception on the goal line in the final throes of the game.

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20 in last year’s title game, while the Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers share the record for the most Super Bowl wins, with six. Brady, however, tops the lot. He has more Super Bowl victories than any one team, with seven to his name.

Road to the Super Bowl: What happened in the NFL playoffs?

The NFL is made up of 32 competing teams which are separated into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC).

The AFC and NFC are then further divided by region to comprise four divisions with four teams each: AFC East, North, South and West and NFC East, North, South and West.

  • AFC East: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets
  • AFC North: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers
  • AFC South: Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans
  • AFC West: Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers
  • NFC East: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders
  • NFC North: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings
  • NFC South: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • NFC West: Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks

At the end of the regular season, a total of 14 teams advanced to the playoffs, including the teams with the best record in each of the respective four divisions per conference, plus a further three ‘wild card’ teams determined by which teams owned the next-best records in each conference.

Baltimore Ravens (10-7) 6 (wild card) New York Giants (9-7-1)

*Super Bowl finalists in BOLD

The No 1 seeds in each conference (the two teams with the best win-loss records in the AFC and NFC) received a first-round bye, while the No 2 seeds hosted the No 7 seeds, the No 3 seeds hosted the No 6 seeds and the No 4 seeds hosted the No 5 seeds on Super Wild Card Weekend to open the postseason.

The No 1 seeds – this year’s Super Bowl finalists, the Chiefs (AFC) and Eagles (NFC) – entered the fold during the subsequent Divisional Round. They then hosted the lowest remaining seed from their respective conferences, while the second-lowest remaining seed visited the second-highest remaining seed from the winners of the wild card round.

The respective winners of those two match-ups then met in the Conference Championship games, in effectively the semi-finals for the Super Bowl.
